This is the funniest event in the school year, but ironi- cally the most unfair as the teachers quite often manage to pull the wool over the referee's eyes. The teachers who played were Mr. Bender, Mr. Gnay, Mr. Wood, Mr.Campbell, Mr. Taylor, Mr, Horwood, Mr. Loche, Mr. Willis, Mr. Skeol and Mr. Palmer. Students were admitted to the game for a slight charge of 25¢. The money went to the Athletic Society for the pur- chase of Athletic equipment. (As the above was written before the game it should be reported that there was a big switch this year. There was no wool pulled over the eyes of refs Glen Madill and Ken An- derson! The teachers just couldn't get together in the earlier stages of the game and the students, senior boys, were ahead all the way. At the end of the first quar- ter the students had a 20-14 lead; at the halfway mark 25- 20; and were away ahead at the end of the third quarter with 41-28. The teachers really got steamed up in the final lap and gained a number of points but not quite enough. The final score for the victorious students was 48-40. It was a case of "getting too schmart too late".) 0--0--0 On Tuesday and Wednesday the appointed students canvas- sed for the Cancer Society. Most people were aware of the campaigning as it had been advertised in the paper and on television, thus they donated generously. The students would like to thank the public for their friendly reception as it made the job more pleasant. Gives Preview of University Life Students in Grade 12 and 13 can have a taste of university life this summer, acquire cre- dits toward a degree, and it won't cost them a cent, The program, begun two years ago as a pioneering ven- ture of Waterloo Lutheran Uni- versity, will continue this sum- mer. Dr. L. H. Schaus, dean of the faculty of arts and science, said free tuition is offered stu- dents who show exceptional ability and plan to continue to university. "By completing one or two courses in a summer session these students will be able to pursue a much fuller or enrich- ed program of studies at uni- versity, " Dean Schaus said. "They could even attempt some honors courses in the first year." For example, a high school student completing a first-year history course at sum- mer school, could attempt a second -year honors course dur- ing his first year at university. Summer school courses open to students include biology, business, economics, English, French, German, history, mathe- matics, philosophy, psychology, Russian, sociology, and Spanish. To be eligible for a summer school scholarship high school students must be nominated by the principal or department head and the guidance depart- ment on the basis of their year's work. The student must have a Wingham Advance -Tunes, Thursday, .Apr. l5, 190,4'ag0g "WELL, HELLO THERE!" — No, she isn't a student at WDHS, just a model sporting one of the new sweaters on sale at the school.

Witherden your telephone manager Who Pays for Telephone Expansion? It has occurred to me that telephone users in Wingham might be interested in a fundamental fact of Company business operations — and one which might not be widely realized. It is the matter of where the Company obtains the hundreds of millions of dollars needed yearly to +.ild new exchanges, construct new local and Long Distance cir- cuits, and buy telephone sets and other facilities required to serve an ever-expanding economy and population. Some people may automatically think that these con- struction expenses come out of telephone bills, but this is not so. It is the Canadian investor—either private indiv- iduals or investment firms — who, by buying •Company stocks or bonds, make telephone growth possible. (The reason that they invest in the Company, of course, is that they expect the money to be wisely used, and to pay inter- est or profit over the years). Your telephone bill pays the costs of providing you with telephone service—the wages, maintenance costs, taxes, etc. —plus a reasonable profit whioh is returned to the investor. But your telephone bill does not pay the huge amounts necessary to make the Company grow fast enough physic- ally to serve new families and businesses. For these sums, the Company depends on the investing public, and, in turn, the investing public demands that our business be healthy and well managed. If it is not, and does not return them a reasonable profit, then they would invest their money elsewhere. (Incidentally, any Canadian can invest In the Bell—it's not a "limited club" by any means!) Bell shareholders (there are over 200,000—the largest number of any Canadian company) benefit immediately and directly, of course, from each successful year of Com- pany operation. But a vast number of other Canadians are also indirectly affected, because the chances are that their insurance or mutual fund companies, or the pension plan they subscribe to, also invest in Bell stock. And final- ly, even a person who has no .direct or indirect financial interest in successful Company operations also benefits from its growth, because in growing it helps create addi- tional jobs in a wide variety of industries. This, of course, -Contributes to the prosperity Of every Canadian.
